Reflections on Latvia Then and Now
Reflections on Latvia Then and Now
By Alexei Pankin

Your husband hasn’t been issued a visa,” the travel agent told my wife, who along with our daughter had received a visa for the New Year’s holiday we had planned in Latvia.

Ode to some misplaced hardware

Oh me oh my oh my oh me
I cannot find my MP3

The player that I always use to hear my jazz and folk and blues
memory would have me say I had it just the other day
but having searched both here and there I cannot see it anywhere

I never thought that i would see
the day that I might ever lose
my music, jazz and folk and blues
Oh I am woe and woe is me
I cannot find my MP3
